WWII DEATHS

FromCASS COUNTY, ILLINOIS

I received the following note from Mitzi Calbreath - I was at the National Archives to research WWII Deaths and extracted
these lists which I thought you might like to share with other researchers. The list includes only members of the U.S. Army. When asked about the
other service organizations, Mitzi indicated that the lists for the U.S. Navy, Air Force and
Coast Guard contained the names of individuals from all over the state rather than being broken down by county as these were. To find additional Illinois
WWII Casualties (Navy, Marine Corps, & Coast Guard, go to the following link:

The list includes the serviceman's name, serial number, his rank and a code. Translation of the codes is as follows:
DNB - Died in Line of Duty, non-battle
DOI - Died of Injuries
DOW - Died of Wounds
FOD - Finding Of Death
KIA - Killed In Action during battle
M - Missing

Our thanks so much to Mitzi Calbreath for obtaining and sharing these lists with our researchers.
